SEVEN PER CENT
INVESTMENTS.

We are constantly receiving from our West
ern Office 7per cent Mortgages ON Improved
Real Estate, and have always in stock from
S30,OO0 to sjO,OOO of completed loans in various
amounts from $500 to $1,000.
These mortgages are especially desirable
tor Eastern investors, because the property bV
which they are secured is always inspected by
IA member OF this firm, as well rs by salaried
examiners; because the property lies in the
old counties of northwestern Missouri, eastern
kansas and eastern Nebraska, where prices
are not affected by the unhealthy "booms'
which initiate values in the new country far
theT West; and because the soil in the counties
where these loans are negotiated has been
tested by many years of successful cultiva-
tiOn.
Principal and interest are paid by check
from this office, promptly at maturity.

1t caught on in great Bhape; at

quite frequent. The great novelty of the
piece was q contiagration scene. in the
second act, where conventionality was
thrown aside, and tho latest improved
methods OF fire fighting introduced. The
life belt, life line, scaling ladder,
jumping blankets and other devices
were all introduced, and women
and children were rescued from
second and third story windows, amid
deafening applause, flames and red FIRE.
The songs, music and dancing incident to
the piece introduce some rare talent, and
add zest to the entire performance. The
cast is made up OF well-known people and
possesses much merit, and the roles are
satisfactorily rendered. It is not a "blood
and thunder" play by any meana. All
who attend are certain to be amused and

she has been known to indulge in for a

Green came staggering along and at last

But ever two officers were not enough to
handle the old virsgo. They could have
taken her, OF course, had they thought it
proper to use the same force that they
would have used in handling q drunken
